Confessin The Blues Little Walter SKU: CHE416 Barcode: ACHE416 24.00 £24.00 Genre: Blues Label: Chess Released Date: 26th November 2012 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Limited edition 180-gram vinyl reissue of the classic Chess Records LP High definition premium virgin vinyl pressing for super fidelity Little Walter could make his harp sound like a tenor sax, he was instrumental in defining the sound that is now known as Chicago blues harp. Singer, composer, bandleader and peerless harmonica virtuoso, Little Walter was unquestionably the single finest blues artist to have been produced by the post war Chicago blues movement. It was as a menber of, and a vital contributor to the Muddy Waters band that Walter was given full rein to stretch his wings, and it is a tribute to Muddy\’s foresight and generosity of spirit that he early recognized Walter\’s great talent and allowed him every opportunity and encouragement to develop it. Muddy\’s band was always a great incubator of blues talent and Walter\’s is easily the brightest jewel in the crown. In the period 1952, when he struck out on his own, through 1968, when he died as the result of head injuries sustained in a fight, Walter recorded in all about 100 titles for the Chess label, of which slightly more than half were isssued on record, invariably as singles. Made up of songs cut between 1953 and 1959 — none of which had ever appeared on LP before the original 1974 release of this collection — this selection features Walter in his prime, playing alongside Robert Lockwood, Jr. and Louis Myers or Luther Tucker on guitar (with Muddy Waters present on slide on one indispensable track, \”Rock Bottom\”), mostly Willie Dixon on bass, and Fred Below on the drums, with Lafayette Leake or Otis Spann on piano. His harp work was never less than first rate during the era covered by this collection, and there are some top flight instrumentals featured, but the material (check out \”Crazy Legs,\” with its dazzling interplay between Walter on harp and Louis and Dave Myers on guitars) here also features some of Walter\’s best singing, including the romantic \”One More Chance with You,\” the quietly raunchy \”Temperature,\” and \”Confessin\’ the Blues.\” Artist Little Walter Genre Blues Label Chess Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United States of America Track Listings 1.It Ain't Right 2.Rocker 3.I Got To Find My Baby 4.Lights Out 5.One More Chance With You 6.Crazy Legs 7.Temperature 8.I Got To Go 9.Crazy Mixed Up World 10.Quarter To Twelve 11.Confessin' The Blues 12.The Toddle 13.Up The Line 14.Rock Bottom 15.Mean Old Frisco Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Blues View Product Quick View Junior Wells Coming At You Blues | Concord Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 13th July 2018 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Junior Wells Coming At You £26.00 Genre: Blues Label: Concord Craft Recordings SKU: ACONC095 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Earl Hooker There’s a Fungus Amung Us Blues | Red Lightnin' Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th April 2024 £27.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Earl Hooker There’s a Fungus Amung Us £27.00 Genre: Blues Label: Red Lightnin' Records SKU: RL009R Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Johnny Winter About Blues Blues | Replay | 180g, 1LP Released 10th August 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Winter About Blues £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Replay SKU: RPLP7038 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Bonamassa Live At Carnegie Hall – An Acoustic Evening Blues | Provogue | 180g, 3LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th June 2017 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Bonamassa Live At Carnegie Hall – An Acoustic Evening £23.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: 819873014898 Formats: 180g, 3LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Walter Trout We’re All In This Together Blues | Provogue | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 4th September 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Walter Trout We’re All In This Together £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: 0819873015352 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Finley Goin Platinum!
